Late last week, Deutsche’s banking analysts produced a report on Credit Suisse which underscores the extent to which – if it values you – the Swiss bank is actually a rather good payer.

If Credit Suisse really wants to hire or to keep you, Deutsche notes that it will give you a generous “special award” to get you onside. In 2015, Credit Suisse splashed out CHF150m ($158m) in such payments to hire and retain key staff.

To put this in context, special awards at Deutsche and UBS last year totaled just €1m ($1.2m) and CHF2m ($2.1m) respectively.

So, if Credit Suisse tries to cut your pay? Deutsche Bank’s revelations suggest all you need to do is threaten to leave. If the recent past is anything to go by, you’ll then receive a generous inducement to stick around.
